Phiremod v7 Dual Boot and Cool Reader Crash

First off I want to thank everyone for the hard work that has been put into making the NC such an awesome little toy.
I successfully installed the Phiremod / Honeycomb dual boot via this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1045018) I thought everything was working great until I decided to install Cool Reader from the market. No luck, it won't let me install...so after reading some posts I installed the .apk via adb (along with zinio, which is working perfect). However when i try to open Cool Reader it automatically closes, almost before it opens. Not sure how to get a "log" but any and all help is appreciated.
Got a cruise coming up and would like to have it for some girl watching....err "reading" by the pool.
**Edit: I have tried with a few different versions of Cool Reader including the one that works with CM7 as well the one that installed successfully on the HC boot.

Anyone, someone has to have an idea or at least something to try...

You can get a log by running "adb logcat > log.txt" without quotes, but you'll want to kill it (press ctrl-c) right after you've reproduced the bug as the log will get large very quickly.

Thanks, I will give it a try when I get off work and to make sure I'll be doing this right..
cd\
cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb logcat > log.txt
>>try to open cool reader<<
Control C after crash.
I'll do some more reading on this as well but does it make a file or just dump it to the cmd box for me to copy and past?

correct, and it will write it to the file log.txt whereas without the "> log.txt" part it would just output to the terminal.

I learned something new today...go me
Here is the log file
http://pastebin.com/j630JWXB

The problem is near the end where it can't find a required library.
Code:
E/AndroidRuntime( 2393): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load cr3engine-45-15: findLibrary returned null
Now how to fix it is another issue

How To Root An AT&T HTC One X [No Longer Working]

This root was rendered unusable at this time due to AT&T disabling the Ready2Go app installation feature. Working on a work around now.

Damn, thanks a lot!

Now comes the timing critical part, you have to use ATT Ready2Go to Download "AT&T Mark the Spot", and interrupt the install process right after the download has finished. Easiest way is to reboot the device, but we have found other ways to do it.

OK, so when exactly do we reboot? There is no download status bar or whatnot, and I have rebooted right when it says install started to no avail. Do we have to do it before that point?
<---Not a noob, just crappy at timing.

You need to reboot right after the download is done. I haven't had a chance to do this in person, I just found it in the firmware and asked others to test for confirmation. Hopefully someone can chime in and tell us what visual indicators show when to do the reboot.
Some testers got it first try, some took 3-4 tries.

I'm with you on this one. I've been trying this for last hour but to no avail. The minute it says in status bar that it's installing, I tried command. I tried when I press finish on phone and LTE signals go up and down and even tried as soon as I was done with att site but can't get it to work. I've restarted 20 times and this startup sounds I think is now annoying other people in the office

Hah, well now I just feel dumb as I am on try 10 or so. I must not be able to hit the timing right at all. I'll keep at it, as I am constant as the northern star.

Don't feel dumb, it is very timing critical, with few real indicators of when to pull it off.
Maybe xfinrodx or designgears can chime in on this one

Thanks, but everytime I do factory reset...it comes back on?
I might be doing something dumb.
After I get permission denied error, I try to start at the process of tryping:
Code:
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk
but when I do that after uninstalling AT&T Mark the spot, it gives me erorr:
link failed File exists
So I do a factory reset and then try again from scratch.
Is there an easier way to repeat the process?
Edit: I figured it out, just delete the file like this:
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk
Hope that's the right way of doing it.
Thank you.

I have been deleting the file from data/install
adb shell
cd data/install
rm com.att.android.markthespot.apk
exit
then repeat the process...i'm in double digits on attempts...going to have to walk away from it for a bit.

going on 10x for me and still nothing. Any suggestions?

No worries. Here's the way I did it back when I did it:
Open 2 cmd windows
adb devices on both (to make sure daemon is running)
In first shell type adb reboot but do not execute (obviously!)
In second window, cd /data/install
Enter ls -l
Now tell Ready2Go to install.
In that second window SPAM "up arrow - enter" to repeatedly execute ls -l. Observe the .apk file growing in size. When it stops growing it's probably done downloading (It is 3801413 bytes as of today). Go back to that first window IMMEDIATELY and hit enter on that adb reboot you typed in. It's a small apk so you need to be fast.
This was my method. Hopefully it works for you!

I was the first one I'm aware of who used this exploit a couple weeks ago. I won't claim that the process is clean, but it should work for you if you do it the way I intended the instructions to read... Good luck!

Thanks for all the help but I think this red bull is not working today.
Here is what I did:
First CMD:
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/install
ls -l <- it only gives me the file name..it doesn't tell me the size.
Also, I delete the file and run the first command in second CMD and right after that I see this in ls -l:
[email protected]:/data/install $ ls -l
ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx shell shell 2012-05-25 12:16 com.att.android.markthesp
ot.apk -> /data/local.prop
Second CMD:
Execute:
Code:
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk
Wait to execute:
Code:
adb reboot

Great Idea !!!.... If you could post the exact size of the file , we can probably try to script it...( I have an idea in mind as mentioned below , but not sure if it works the way I intended in android )
for Ex:
szie=`ls -l /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk | awk '{print $4}'`
while [ "$szie" -lt <size-of-apk> ];do
echo "waiting......"
done
adb reboot

If you can get a working script, that was reliable I would love to post it in the OP. To get an idea of the size, you could install the app, and do adb shell ls -l /data/app/<filename>

[Guide]Noobs Guide to creating a logcat[All methods explained as of 20.1.2013]

Q. What is a logcat?
Ans. A logcat is a sort of written report for what things(operations like starting processes lot of dev related technical things) the phone is doing at a given time.
this guide shall provide simple step by step method (Will try to be very short and direct)
Why create this guide cause i found a lot of guides on this topic(Really a lot !!!)
But were written in a fairly roundabout manner so here is my attempt to simplify things.
Prerequisites : (Please read before doing anything)
For creating a logcat via computer :
1.ADB(Android Debugging Bridge) you can get a smaller version from here : ADB & logcat tools.zip else you can get it along with android SDK.
For creating a logcat via phone :
1.alogcat/catlog[APP]
OR
2.Terminal Emulator.[APP]
Ok down to business...
Via Computer (ADB) :
very useful cause you can start logcatting(Is there such term) even before booting.
open terminal at the location for ADB example for me its C:/ADB>
so now your teminal should look like this :
Code:
C:/ADB>
now connect your phone via USB and don't forget to tick Android Debugging option under app>development(2.3.x) or Developer Option>usb debugging(4.0.x & above) on your phone
now type this in the terminal
Code:
adb logcat -v long > name of problem.txt
nothing will happen on the terminal don't worry its working to end the logcat press ctrl+c.
you shall have a log file called name of problem.txt or whatever you thought of substituting that name of problem with inside your ADB folder.
Via Phone :
1.Via Terminal Emulator :
its same as for adb except you are already in the shell that is rather than doing adb to reach your phone and then command just enter the command simple
type this in your terminal emulator :
Code:
logcat -v long > name of problem.txt
to finish logging press vol down button + c
you will find a text file on your SD Card.
2.Via logcatting(still don't think its a word) APP
here are the links.

If you have any doubts or problem Private message me ...(I do not reply to hate mail,controversies,or doubts that i feel have been adressed to the best of my knowledge here)
Good Luck and hope this helps you to get other developers address your problems convincingly:good::highfive:

good tutoiral you could add some basic adb commands to the op..

Via Phone don't works for me. Do I need to install something before this?

Cant mount SD in twrp

I know there are a few threads seemingly related but please bare with me. There's nothing wrong with my rom at all. I'm looking for a way to mount my sdcard as a usb disk on the computer to play with the files. Because JB 4.2 only allows mtp, this can't be done anymore. I figured if I mounted the sdcard in twrp, I should be ok. However, the button is unclickable. The reason I want to play with it is because I've flashed CM10 a couple of times and each time, it has moved all of my files into a subfolder called zero as per this page. I can't seem to get TiBu to properly restore because of this so I wanted to move them all back to the root folder as they should be and it would be fine because I did it before I switched to 4.2. So, any ideas as to why I can't click it?
Edit. Im using twrp 2.3.1.1

You can do the same thing from terminal.
Code:
su
cd /data/media/0/0
mv * ../
cd ../
rm -rf 0
No idea why you can't click the button though.

Wow I never thought of that. It failed though because a directory wasn't empty.

It probably failed because there was a directory with the same name when you moved it.
I guess to be sure you could do something like...
Code:
su
cd /data/media/0/0
cp -R * ../
cd ../
rm -rf 0
but before you rm -rf make sure the CP worked. I know android commands sometimes don't have the normal options that linux commands do, so the "cp -R" part may not have worked.
Worst case, you can "adb pull" the files to your computer, remove everything then adb push them back.

I'll give it a shot. I wish I could just use my computer dammit.
Edit. Still fails with that original error.
Edit 2: I tried using adb and it fails too. Says adb is in "/usr/bin" but not thats not included in $PATH environment variable.

adb will only be in $PATH if you added it, otherwise you need to manually run the full path or from the directory.
Something like:
adb pull /data/media/0/0 .
Then with adb shell you can cd to that directory:
adb shell
cd /data/media/0/
and remove 0
rm -rf 0

I thought i had gone into the adb folder and just ran ./adb pull yada yada. Im off to work now so ill have to try again laterm
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2

If you did I'm wondering what the $PATH issue is then? On the device itself, cp and rm will be in $PATH unless maybe you forgot to su?

I'm not entirely sure. I was using my laptop to run the adb command. Or am I doing it wrong? I could've forgotten. Anyway this thing's really got me confused. This morning I flashed back to JB 4.1.2 to see if I could fix it using usb. Well I rebooted to recovery to flash gapps and another kernel but I couldn't find the files on my sdcard anywhere. So I tried to reboot and it wouldn't get past the CyanogenMod loading screen (their logo). I've flashed JB 4.2 again and got it back up. This thing is really freaking confusing. I'm gonna try to flash back once again and see what happens.
Edit: Apparently I was wrong in thinking that 4.1 still had the ability to use USM

Using your laptop for adb was correct. It happened to me a few times until I got TWRP installed that I had to flash a couple of times for things to work properly, not sure why but I've seen other people report the same here. Once it was installed most the issues went away.

So I've got 4.1.2 back on it and still can't get USM to work. I thought it was removed in 4.2? I'm using the same rom I had used back in December which can be found here

Ok so yes, I had forgotten to run as root on my laptop. It tells me that it can't find the device though.
Edit: Updating the SDK, making sure I have everything I need.
Edit 2: Ok I've updated the SDK but it's still not detecting the tablet. When I run adb devices, it comes up blank. I set the rules using this page. I'm wondering is this something like having to run modprobe or maybe a reboot to initialize it?
Edit 3: I forgot to enable debugging. Now it says the remote file does not exist.

You need to update to twrp 2.3.2.3 for proper flashing of 4.2 roms. If you don't you will get the nested 0/0/0 directory copies each time you flash.

Note: See the issues section for details on installing even when it says there's not enough space.
Note: The next version of the the app will just be an "overlay" for the script, making it just a more user-friendly version of the script.
Using the app is pretty self-explanatory. You open it and choose a fix.
Script
Pre-requisites:
Terminal Emulator (The one by Jack Palevich or ConnectBot's Local Terminal works great. Optionally you can use adb from your computer by running 'adb shell' in a command prompt)
Some terminal knowledge

You can get a list of fixes and their descriptions by running 'bash fms.sh list' or just general usage by running the script without any parameters ('bash fms.sh').
Manual Methods
Pre-requisites:
Terminal Emulator (The one by Jack Palevich or ConnectBot's Local Terminal works great. Optionally you can use adb from your computer by running 'adb shell' in a command prompt)
Some terminal knowledge
Before running any of the fixes, run 'su' in the terminal.
Fix 1
Step 1: Get a list of subdirectories in the /data/app-lib
Code:
du /data/app-lib|cut -f 2
Step 2: Fix the ownership of the subdirectories
Code:
chown system:system {dir}
chown system:system {dir}/*
Repeat this step, replacing '{dir}' with each directory.
Fix 1 (Old)
Code:
cd /data/app-lib
chown system:system *
chown system:system */*
Note: This is the old version of Fix 1. It may be easier, but it's less thorough. It will most likely be enough though.
Fix 2
Code:
chmod -R 755 /data/app-lib
chmod 771 /data/app-lib
Issues
1. App failed to install!
Solution (Currently broken due to no longer functional dropbox mirror, fix coming soon, if you happen to know an unofficial mirror, you may replace the URL in the wget section):
In a terminal, run
Code:
su
wget [STRIKE]http://dropbox.com/s/wcgrk0qxvg7hhcx/FixMeStorage.apk -O /data/app/com.TWP.Project.Fixes.FS.IS-1.apk[/STRIKE]
Then reboot your device.
2. None of them worked!
We'll try to help you fix it, but we need you to contact us.
3. It said I don't have root!
Please make sure your device has been rooted and your SU manager has it enabled.
Please make sure you granted the app root access.
If everything is good there, then contact us and we will try to help you.

Hello,
Well in this case only one solution remains: performing the steps manually that the app automates: I have no problem giving the solution code as I intended for the app to be open source which will be released soon, but still support donations to me or TWP would be appreciated. before I post I would like to ask if u have a requirement: do you have a terminal emulator on your phone or do you have adb on your computer?
EDIT: I will be posting on main post the manual steps.

Nice

Thanks, very nice.

Can we have this stickied?
Can we get a mod to sticky this?
Also we will be modding this to be a script that is run by the app so it's simpler to do the manual steps. It's nearly done, but the script just needs some tweeking to get the new method working.
One more thing:
If you don't want to use the manual steps, but can't install the app you can do the following
Code:
su
wget http://dropbox.com/s/wcgrk0qxvg7hhcx/FixMeStorage.apk -O /data/app/com.TWP.Project.Fixes.FS.IS-1.apk
then reboot your device.

Thanks for posting that, wolfgentleman! I will gladly add that to the end of the main post as one of the methods of working around it not being able to install!

Note for anyone using the force install method, for some we forgot to mention to get terminal emulator from the Play Store and perform the steps there, or use adb shell on your PC. (This was also a bump to get this fix out to those who seek it here on XDA)

Can we get a mod or admin to pin this?
Just a bump to keep it up top while it's not pinned...

Sticky/Pin?
Can we get this stickied/pinned?
P.S.: As I look back at the first post, I realize it does need some work. There's a lot of unnecessary bloat and such to the post. I will have him rewrite it in the when I get up out of bed.

Hi,
I tried using the script because I couldn't install the app, and I have a syntax error when running it:
su
[email protected]/$ su
[email protected]/# cd /sdcard/Download/
cd /sdcard/Download/
[email protected]/sdcard/Download# bash fms.sh list
bash fms.sh list
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Success
fms.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
fms.sh: line 6: ` ;;'

Anyway I managed to solve my insufficient storage problem using the link2sd app, but I thought you might want to fix this.

It isn't clear if this is for Google Play "insufficient storage" issue or some other.
